                <br />
                <li>Make sure the files are not read-only or blocked.</li>
                <br />
                <li>Extract this pack to a folder with simple spaceless path to avoid troubles (example: C:\UUP).</li>
                <br />
                <li>Place the files in "UUPs" folder to be detected automatically, or drag and drop uup files directory on convert-UUP.cmd. Alternatively, you will be prompted to enter other UUP folder path.</li>
                <br />
                <li>If multiple Editions detected, you will be prompted first to select one edition, some editions, or create AIO.</li>
                <br />

                    to do so, when WU prompt you to restart, start convert-UUP.cmd and paste the path to download directory, example:
